America's entering a period of extreme chaos, and I think it is time to start asking what should America begin again?

The United States is more divided than ever, which has led a group of activists in California to make a radical proposal to leave.

I'm Shutezka, and this is The Last Resort, a new podcast about CalXA.

Hey, I'm Maria Fernanda-Theis, and I want to invite you to check out my podcast, When You're Invisible.

I'm a first-gen daughter of Mexican immigrants who started off on food stamps and got to the Ivy Leagues.

Because of my experiences and my families, I've become a lover of people and stories that don't get told.

And that's what this podcast is for.

How would you define being invisible?

Being looked over, people see you silhouette of a person, and not the actual person.

Listen to one you're invisible.

On the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

So in our information and intercontinental travel aids, though, I feel like these names may seem very familiar and known, even though they might be places that we also paradoxically know are very far away from us.

We may know that they are, in many cases, vastly separated from other islands.

But just because we can pull up pictures of them, just because we know we could book a flight to one of these, if we so desired, they may seem closer.

They may seem smaller than it actually is, you know.

There's a very limited way of imagining what planet Earth is where you say, okay, somebody picture the Earth and what do people picture?

I think they probably picture looking down at some continental part of the Earth, maybe seeing mountain ranges, maybe seeing the Sahara desert or something, but often people picture land, right?
